At just 17, Andreeva has demonstrated outstanding form this season and is now aiming for back-to-back WTA 1000 titles after her victory in Dubai last month.

Sabalenka leads the WTA rankings with 9,706 points, narrowly edging out Swiatek, who has 9,665 points. American Coco Gauff is third with 5,963 points, followed by Jessica Pegula in fourth with 5,785 points, and Elena Rybakina in fifth with 5,471 points.

With the win, Sabalenka became the first woman to claim both hard-court majors in a single season since 2016

Former World No. 1 Sabalenka, runner-up to Coco Gauff at last year's US Open, took 90 minutes to overcome American Navarro, who was competing in her first Grand Slam semifinal. Sabalenka has dropped just one set en route to Saturday's final and is aiming for her second consecutive title after winning the Cincinnati Open, where she defeated Pegula in the final, according to WTA stats.

The Belarusian second seed was the first woman to retain the Melbourne Park title since compatriot Victoria Azarenka in 2013.

Sabalenka is on the verge of securing the year-end No.1 spot. A win in her Saturday semifinal would seal the deal.

The top-seeded Belarusian struggled with her serves throughout the match, tallying eight double faults compared to Rybakina's one. She was also broken four times by the fifth seed, as reported by Xinhua.
